SynopsisHailed as a masterpiece of American travel writing, Blue Highways is an unforgettable journey along our nation's backroads. William Least Heat-Moon set out with little more than the need to put home behind him and a sense of curiosity about "those little towns that get on the map -- if they get on at all -- only because some cartographer has a blank space to fill: Remote, Oregon; Simplicity, Virginia; New Freedom, Pennsylvania; New Hope, Tennessee; Why, Arizona; Whynot, Mississippi." His adventures, his discoveries, and his recollections of the extraordinary people he encountered along the way amount to a revelation of the true American experience.

A Great travel Journal around America
I loved this book. In fact this is about the 12th copy of it that I have bought. I give them to friends and have them give them to other friends. All so people can read about this author's trip around America and the wonderful people that he met.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

I'm hoping to take the whole trip mapped in the book this year!
Have a pop up sportsmobile 1996 van and hope to leave on the route in the book next month and see the fall colors on the East Coast as I travel the Blue Highways. Making notes on where to plan to spend more time as I read the book.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Fair to Midland
The book "Blue Highways" was a fair read, poor quality photographs and fair to midland content.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Road Trip!
My brother recommended William Least Heat Moon, and I cannot say enough about this wonderful book! Like Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley" and Kerouac's "On the Road" only better, if that is possible. "Blue Highways" takes you down those roads less traveled, off the interstates, back to where the people have stories to tell.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Fun Read
If you are looking for a travel book, then this is good, but what it is best for are the stories and experiences and history. This is the second book I've read by him and both are very good. Even though written in the 1980's, it is still appropriate for today.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
